Will My Oreo Float?
Will an Oreo® float? Place it perpendicular to the water...what happens. Place it parallel (flat) on the water...what happens? If it does float, how long will it float before it becomes saturated and sink? Record your results. Compare with other cookies to take it to the next level!!
Today, we predicted whether we thought the Oreo would float or sink. If the Oreo sank, how long would it take? I had many students think that it would take 10, 15, 20 minutes, however it only took 12 to 20 seconds for the Oreo to sink. I had one student who predicted 12 seconds. She won an Oreo!!!
